More than meets the eye

The teaser “announcement” trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers movie is now up and available here. Nothing stunning, it’s purely a teaser. It reminds me of Independence Day a little. I have little doubt that this is going to be a mediocre film with some stunning special effects and big explosions. And [...]

Avenue Q

Back at the beginning of March I mentioned a Broadway musical called Avenue Q (which can only be described as an adult version of Sesame Street) after one of the songs from the show, titled “The Internet Is For Porn”, was used on a very funny World of Warcraft machinima video.
Well, Avenue Q is now [...]

Spider Venom

Superhero geekout ahoy!

It’s being developed by Funcom (the Norwegian team behind “Anarchy Online” which has been going for a few [...]

PandoraFM

At frakking last!
Some clever sod has finally managed to mesh Pandora (the online music player that builds custom radio stations based on your preferences and then recommends other tracks you might like) and Last.FM (the online music profiler).
Up until now, the Last.FM radio player has been – what’s the word – shite! [...]
